Course Description
Introduction
This workshop has been devised to educate young people from the age of 11 to 17 years about the potential dangers of being involved in county lines & Gangs. County lines are a very serious issue where criminal gangs set up a drug dealing operation in a place outside their usual operating area. This can have a really big effect on the community and people who live there, bringing with it serious criminal behaviour.
